How Does it Work?

‘Life Skills Training’ is designed for children and adolescents, grades 3-12. Each age-appropriate curriculum is divided into 8-12 week sessions. The ideal implementation has groups of children or adolescents meet for one hour each week, during classroom time, or other types of programming hours.

‘Life Skills’ also teaches children about the dangers of tobacco and alcohol use, as well as the risks of drug abuse and violence.

Through discussion, worksheets, and group activities, participants in all age groups work with a trained Prevention Educator, to hash out concerns and issues we all have. Life Skills takes the time to go over some of the more unconscious processes that can leave our youth vulnerable.
